A contractor on my project recently had a problem with materials being stolen from the job site. It was galvanized steel, easily identifiable, and sold to a local scrapyard.   He locates it, and asks to gets part of it back. the rest had already been hauled off, or whatever they do with it.  The scrapyard makes him get a police report, which he does, and then has to pay scrap price to get it back.   The scrapyard would not tell him who sold it to them, although they have a license and thumbprint of the thief.   The police have done nothing but print a report, and indicate that's all they intend to do.   This seems like B.S. to me. I am not familiar with how law enforcement works, but shouldn't they arrest the thief or something?   I this is how law enforcement works, why do we have law enforcement?

I don't think he means Republican when he says the "R" word for all you guys drinking the RNC Kool Aid.

I've loaded since I've been big enough to pull a handle, and I've never owned a case gauge. Except for some shotgun shell problems, I've never had a problem with a reload not chambering, firing, etc.   Why does one really need a case gauge?

Oh, I didn't mean to insult. I'm jealous. I love pretty much anything Ithaca. Had I found it at a decent price, I'd have brought it home with me as well.     Now that you say that, it may well be an original Dulite finish. If so, man it's in primo shape! The stamping in the frame does look crisp. :up:

You can do what needs doing with the 3 die set. The bullet seating die can be adjusted to where it crimps as it seats the bullet.

I believe it should be parkerized as well, but still an interesting piece of history. Congratulations.   The Johnson is definitely something you don't run across every day!

.....and likely the most they ever learned there.   I also miss the days when police officers dressed and acted like human beings.

Maybe you missed the "Neil Young" part. :shrug:

Some of Voldermort's family perhaps?

No doubt he's a master! Thanks for sharing.

I'd think you'd have firmer gound to stand on declaring an earplug a silencer than that hideous thing Sig designed.   It is an interesting peeing match to witness.

When's it going in the classified section? :drool:

Even though it wasn't a die problem? Alrighty then! :shrug:

My TGO receiver set would have walnut furniture, but I couldn't find any in stock....and that handguard would take a whole lot of filing were I to make them by hand.

She's a whole lot prettier than you! :rofl:

Yeah........but they're still ugly! :rofl:

It won't be a "one time use". :shake:

How would you compare this to an AK47?

Sounds like a normal weekend around here. :shrug:

I'd suggest an AR as well. Adjustable stock, light weight, and he'll enjoy it for a lifetime. He can also add to it, or change it to his liking as the years go by.

It'll save you some $$$ by not buying the tools to build one.            http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/deals/ar-15-sale/ptac-ar15-blackhawk-complete-lower-receiver.html $129   http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/barreled-upper-assemblies/ptac-16-mid-length-5-56mm-1-7-upper-with-bcg-and-charging-handle.html $299   There'd be one for $428 without shopping hard.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any of the cartridges you mention would be fine.   Are you set on an H&R?   Are you set on a single shot?   What's your budget?   Do you handload? If not, the 223 will be the most economical.

You can get down to around $400 if you are patient and watch for sales. $500-550 and you can build one of solid quality.

It doesn't sound like fun to me. Do you have any other options?
